Annual “A Night of Fashion” slated for Thursday

The Gainesville Woman’s Club will host “A Night of Fashion” to benefit the Child Advocacy Center (CAC) on Thursday, April 3.

The doors will open at 5:30 p.m. and the program will start at 6:00 p.m. at the Gainesville Woman’s Club, located at 2809 W. University Ave. in Gainesville.  

This year’s event celebrates 20 years of CAC President and CEO Sherry Kitchens leading the charge in helping children heal from trauma caused by abuse, neglect and human trafficking. The CAC works with a multi-disciplinary team—including law enforcement, medical professionals, and therapists—to provide advocacy, forensic interviews, therapy, and emergency response services in a safe, child-friendly environment.

The evening will feature a sit-down dinner catered by Pomodoro Café, dessert sponsored by Sweetwater Branch Inn, assorted wine, raffle baskets, a gift card shoe, and a pop-up store by Dillard’s with beauty services. Eight models, including Gainesville Woman’s Club members, CAC staff and board members, and TV20’s Kristin Chase, will showcase two outfits—daytime casual and nighttime cocktail attire.

Tickets are $50 and can be purchased by calling the Gainesville Woman’s Club at 352-376-3901.

Seating is limited to 150 guests and sponsorship opportunities are available to support the Gainesville Woman’s Club and the vital work of the CAC.
